Alyson Warhurst
Alyson Warhurst, CEO and founder of Maplecroft, maps risks. She explained, “Charts and figures can be used to tell a story to predict risk in the future and intervene, engage policy change to shape the future growth environment and prevent disaster.” Among other things, she’s mapped corruption, human rights, child labor, and the HIV/AIDS rates of truck drivers in Africa. She shared a few key findings that have come from her mapping work: Economies rich in natural resources are more resilient to economic crises; when risks conflate, resilience multiplies; and the risk profiles of emerging economies that are fast-growing are steadily improving.
Alyson is CEO and founder of risk analysis and mapping company Maplecroft. Coming from an academic background, Warhurst now advises global companies and organizations at the board level on issues including global and political risks, human rights, ethical supply chains, corporate reputation and responsibility. She is a consultant to the World Economic Forum and has, for many years, been part of the faculty; she is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative and on the Board of Trustees at Transparency International UK.
